insurger

French

Verb

insurger

1. (reflexive) to rise up, to protest (against)

Conjugation

• This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written insurge- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a “soft” /ʒ/ and not a “hard” /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
